CASCA 2014 CFP: Unsettling Species : Methods in Ethnography Beyond the Human

Unsettling Species : Methods in Ethnography Beyond the Human

'Multispecies', 'inter-species' or 'transspecies' ethnography is gaining
popularity in anthropology but, as it is still emerging, this form of
inquiry is largely undefined. Such uncertainty can make this inquiry seem
outlandish, but it also implies the promising freedom to participate in
the crafting of this burgeoning sub-discipline. Important to this craft
are methods. How does one do multispecies ethnography? Laying out the
blueprints for a reappropriable methodology may help both current
practitioners better understand and communicate their own craft, and
potential practitioners understand how they can conduct such research
themselves. This panel invites presentations that explore fieldwork
experiences, methods, and/or applicable theory of multispecies
ethnography, thereby contributing to anthropology's practical inquiry into
the relational processes that bind humans, beings of other species and the
world we co-inhabit.

Convenors : Julie Laplante, Nicolas Rasiulis, Scott Simon (University of
Ottawa, Department of Sociology and Anthropology)

Interested participants should send abstracts to Nicolas Rasiulis
(nicolasrasiulis@gmail.com) before January 25.

CASCA 2014 "Uncertain Sexualities": Call for Paper proposals

*Call for Papers for Proposed Panel at the Canadian Anthropology Society
2014 Meetings (April 30-May 3, York University, Toronto Canada):
*

*
Uncertain Sexualities: Queering the Anthropological Terrain in Canada*

*Panel organizers: *

David AB Murray (York University) damurray@yorku.ca

Michael Connors Jackman (York University) mcj@yorku.ca

*Abstract: *

This panel explores the shifting terrain of sexualities in Canada from
anthropological perspectives. We are interested in examining
normativizing processes and subversive ruptures through which sexual
identities and practices come to be configured, regulated, named and
transformed. By foregrounding the national and transnational frameworks
that inform ethnographic research on sexuality in Canada, this panel
considers the strengths and limitations of examining desire in relation
to multiple intersecting borders (including but not limited to
geo-political, cultural, ethno-racial, linguistic, classed and
gendered). Possible topics may include:

*Queer futurities and relationships between sexuality and temporality.

*Temporary, precarious life and compressed time frames for becoming queer
or claiming citizenship.

*Relationships between queer past, present, and future in Canada.

*Homonormativities and heternormativities produced through Canadian
security policies, health policies, government practices, and/or public
cultures.

*The social and legal regulation of desire and sexual practices by the
Canadian government and/or courts.

*How LGBT/queer communities, bodies, and identifies in the past, present
and future are configured with and/or related to productions of
Canadianness and Canadian identity.

*How LGBT/queer communities in Canada invest in the preservation, public
recognition and commemoration of their identities.

*Critical analyses of the anthropology of sexuality in Canada and queer
settler colonialism.

*How transnational politics, economies and migratory flows impact
Canadian queer communities/identities and vice-versa.

*Please e-mail a paper title, abstract (of no more than 150 words),
keywords, and co-authors (if applicable) to David and Michael no later
than January 31, 2014.*

CASCA2014 CFP: Whatever Happened to the Anthropology of Performance?

Whatever Happened to the Anthropology of Performance?


*Organizers:*Magdalena Kazubowski-Houston (York University) and Virginie
Magnat (University of British Columbia)

Recent decades have seen a so-called "performative turn" in anthropology
that dates back to the 1970s and the work of Victor Turner (Turner 1975,
1982, 1988), which directed anthropological attention to performance as
an important constituent of social reality, and to social reality as
inherently performative. Subsequently, a multitude of anthropological
projects have examined performance and performativity in terms of
aesthetics, politics, identity, subjectivity, embodiment, power and
agency (e.g. Andriolo 2006; Basso 1970; Crawford 1992; Fjeldstad and Hien
2006; Hall 2000; Harstrup 2004; Isbell 1998; Little 2006; Murray 2002;
Pravaz 2008). Furthermore, Turner's collaborations with
performance theorist Richard Schechner (Schechner 1985) marked the
genesis of a new interdisciplinary field -- performance ethnography (e.g.
Conquergood 1985; Culhane 2011; Denzin 2003; Fabian 1990; Irving 2011;
Kazubowski-Houston 2010; Madison 2010; Magnat 2011; Mienczakowski 1995;
Turner &Turner 1986). However, while anthropologists have made important
contributions to the study of performance, performativity and performance
ethnography since the 1970s, in the last few years,
anthropological innovations in these areas have dwindled. Cutting-edge
research has emerged largely from other fields, such as performance-,
communication-, and folklore studies.

This roundtable session seeks to critically examine the current moment of
stagnation in the anthropology of performance.Why has anthropology been
lagging behind other fields in pushing theoretical and
methodological boundaries in the study of performance and in performance
ethnography research? How can we reinvigorate this branch of
anthropology? What are possible future directions for the anthropology of
performance? What are the ways in which the anthropology of
performance might engage with uncertainty?

Interested scholars should submit a proposal (no more than 250 words)
indicating the scope of their contribution to the roundtable and a brief
bio to Magdalena Kazubowski-Houston mkazubow@yorku.ca
<mailto:mkazubow@yorku.ca>by January 26, 2014. Acceptance to participate
in the roundtable will be communicated in early February 2014.

CASCA 2014 CFP: Storytelling and the Imagination: Ethnographic Experiments

Storytelling and the Imagination: Ethnographic Experiments

In spite of the postmodern narrative turn in the 1990s and a
disciplinary commitment to "blurred genres," anthropology has remained
relatively conservative in representational strategies (Geertz 1988).
Although there is an impressive growing body of work (e.g. Behar 1993,
1996, 2007; Ghodsee 2011; Gottleib and Graham 2012; Jackson 1986,
2012; Narayan 2007; Rosaldo 2013; Stoller 1989, 1997, 1999),
experiments in ethnographic novels, memoirs, performances, and
creative nonfiction remain marginal to the larger field. This session
will offer anthropologists an opportunity to join invited Canadian
writer Camilla Gibb (trained as an anthropologist) in a session
showcasing imaginative ethnographic experiments in writing and
storytelling. Ethnographic papers in this session may include the
poetic, the dramatic, historical, magical, visual, or fictional on a
range of empirical studies. This session aims to "unsettle"
traditional ethnographic writing and reimagine the anthropologist as
artist/writer.

Organizer: Denielle Elliott

If you are interested, please submit abstracts before January 26 to

Reminder: CASCA 2014 CFP: The Certain Uncertainties of Aboriginal Lifeways

Reminder:

The Certain Uncertainties of Aboriginal Lifeways

Many Aboriginal peoples in Canada live lives of uncertainty. From the time
a critical mass of settlers arrived on Turtle Island, to Supreme Court
cases on treaty and other issues, to the over-representation of Aboriginal
peoples in Canadian prisons and through protesting fracking at
Elsipiogtog, Aboriginal peoples have lived lives of contingency but also
of agency in fighting against it. We seek papers discussing the certain
uncertainties of Aboriginal lifeways in Canada and Aboriginal responses to
them. Some questions of interest may be: How are Aboriginal peoples
responding to accumulation by dispossession due to corporate/state
resource extraction and transportation? How do the "securitization" of
Aboriginal grass roots political issues and new social movements create
uncertainty? What uncertainties do urban Aboriginal peoples face? What is
the role of of spirituality in dealing with uncertainty? Any other papers
on the certainty of uncertainty are welcome.


If you are interested in participating in this panel, please contact Craig
Proulx at: cproulx@stu.ca

Promising Uncertainties:
Unsettling the Future of Anthropological Terrain /

Incertitudes fructueuses:
Troubler l'avenir du terrain de l'anthropologie

(la version française suit)

What can uncertainty promise? Documenting indeterminacy, diversity,
disunity and contingency is both a political commitment as well an
empirical claim.
The 2014 CASCA conference theme seeks to draw out a range of questions
including but not limited to: what forms of social and cultural
engagements are possible when ambiguity rather than certainty is the
central concern of anthropological enquiry and/or ethnographic
practice? In what manner and to what extent does uncertainty unsettle
neo-liberal processes of classification, transparency and
accountability? Does a revolutionizing capitalism's search for new markets
foster promise and ambiguity? How does the measurement and management of
uncertainty under the monikers of 'risk', 'choice' and 'rights' affect
political, social and ethical debates about domains as diverse as
immigration, identity politics, technology, art, media, security, health,
environment, and the economy? What are the paradoxes that underpin or
might emerge out of an anthropological engagement with uncertainty? What
might be the intended and unintended outcomes of drawing on this paradigm
for anthropology's interlocutors? What forms of ethnographic practice
might uncertainty give rise to and/or destabilise?
While CASCA 2014 aims to stimulate discussions and critical
reflections on the theme of uncertainty, presentations that fall
outside of the proposed theme will also be considered.

Keynote Speaker
The Keynote speaker is Dr. Didier Fassin, the James D. Wolfensohn
Professor of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study,
Princeton. Originally trained as a physician, his early research in
medical anthropology focused on the AIDS epidemic, mortality
disparities, and global health. More recently, his research has
focused on critical moral anthropology which explores the influence of
moral forms on everyday judgment and action, and on international
humanitarianism or asylum granting. He is the author of several books
including When Bodies Remember: Experiences of AIDS in South Africa (UC
Press, 2007) and Humanitarian Reason. A Moral History of the
Present (UC Press, 2011). More recently his work has focused on the
police, the prison, and the National Court of Asylum in France. His most
recent book is Enforcing Order: An Ethnography of Urban Policing (Polity
Press, 2013).

Proposal Submissions
CASCA 2014 invites different types of proposals and strongly
encourages panels and symposia that will bring together presenters from a
variety of academic and non-academic backgrounds.
Graduate students (MA and PhD) returning from the field and/or having
collected first-hand research material are invited to apply to the annual
CASCA meeting. We also welcome in-depth and advanced analytical works by
PhD students. Please note that conference papers should not be limited to
a course-based project.

15-minute papers
Individual proposals accepted by the CASCA 2014 program committee will be
organized into thematic sessions. The submission for a paper must include
the presentation title, abstract (of no more than 150 words), keywords,
and co-authors (if applicable). If you are part of an
organised panel or symposium, you will also provide the name of the
organiser and title of the panel. If you are a panel or symposium
organiser, please provide an abstract describing the proposed panel or
symposia and list the participants.

Poster presentation
Proposals for posters must include the presentation title, abstract (of no
more than 150 words), keywords, and co-authors (if applicable).
Suggestions for designing an effective poster are available at:
http://www.aaanet.org/meetings/upload/how-to-create-anthropology-posters.pdf

90-minute panels
Panels will be composed of 4 to 5 presentations, followed by a
discussion. Please do not include more than 4 presentations should a
formal discussant be invited. The panel organiser should provide a
150-word abstract describing the theme of the proposed panel or
symposia and include a list of the participants (including, the chair and
the discussant).

Symposia

CASCA 2014

York University,
Toronto, Canada
30 avril - 3 mai, 2014
(http://casca2014.apps01.yorku.ca/french/)

Incertitudes fructueuses:
Troubler l'avenir du terrain de l'anthropologie

De quelle façon les incertitudes sont-elles fructueuses, voire
prometteuses, pour l'anthropologie? Documenter l'indéterminisme, la
diversité, la division et la contingence se présente à la fois comme un
engagement politique et une revendication empirique. Le thème du colloque
annuel de la CASCA a cette année pour objectif d'explorer un éventail de
questions incluant, sans y être limitées, les suivantes: quelles sont les
formes d'engagement social et culturel possibles
lorsque l'ambigüité, plutôt que la certitude, devient la préoccupation
centrale de l'enquête anthropologique et de la pratique
ethnographique? De quelle façon, et dans quelle mesure, les
incertitudes dérangent-elles la mécanique néolibérale, comme les
procédés de classification, de transparence et d'imputabilité? Un
capitalisme révolutionnaire, toujours en quête de nouveaux marchés,
favorise-t-il des perspectives ambigües et prometteuses? Comment la
gestion et la mesure des incertitudes appelées parfois 'risque',
'choix' et 'droits' influent-elles les débats sociaux et éthiques de
domaines aussi divers que l'immigration, la politique identitaire, la
technologie, les arts, les médias, la sécurité, la santé,
l'environnement et l'économie? Quels sont les paradoxes qui sont
sous-jacents et  qui émergent d'un engagement anthropologique avec
l'incertitude? Que pourraient être les répercussions, intentionnelles ou
non, de ce paradigme à l'étude pour les interlocuteurs variés avec
l'anthropologie? Quelles sont les différentes formes de pratiques
ethnographiques qui pourraient être déstabilisées ou au contraire
fortifiées par une approche caractérisée par l'incertitude?
Alors que l'édition 2014 du colloque de la CASCA a pour objectif de
stimuler les discussions et les réflexions critiques sur le thème de
l'incertitude, les soumissions traitant de sujets qui diffèrent du thème
proposé seront aussi considérées.

Conférencier invité
Le conférencier invité est le Dr. Didier Fassin, chaire de James D.
Wolfensohn, professeur de sciences sociales à l'Institute for Advanced
Study de Princeton. Initialement formé en tant que médecin, ses
premières recherches en anthropologie médicale ont été axées sur
l'épidémie liée au SIDA, les disparités de mortalité et la santé
mondiale. Plus récemment, ses recherches ont porté sur l'anthropologie de
la critique morale qui explore l'influence des formes morales sur le
jugement quotidien et l'action, ainsi que sur l'humanitarisme
international ou l'asile d'octroi. Il est l'auteur de plusieurs
livres, incluant When Bodies Remember: Experiences of AIDS in South Africa
(UC Press, 2007), ainsi que Humanitarian Reason. A Moral
History of the Present (UC Press, 2011). Depuis quelque temps, ses travaux
ont porté sur la police, la prison, et la Cour nationale du droit d'asile
en France. Son livre le plus récent s'intitule Enforcing Order: An
Ethnography of Urban Policing (Polity Press, 2013).

CASCA 2014 CFP: The Certain Uncertainties of Aboriginal Lifeways

The Certain Uncertainties of Aboriginal Lifeways

Many Aboriginal peoples in Canada live lives of uncertainty. From the time
a critical mass of settlers arrived on Turtle Island, to Supreme Court
cases on treaty and other issues, to the over-representation of Aboriginal
peoples in Canadian prisons and through protesting fracking at
Elsipiogtog, Aboriginal peoples have lived lives of contingency but also
of agency in fighting against it. We seek papers discussing the certain
uncertainties of Aboriginal lifeways in Canada and Aboriginal responses to
them. Some questions of interest may be: How are Aboriginal peoples
responding to accumulation by dispossession due to corporate/state
resource extraction and transportation? How do the "securitization" of
Aboriginal grass roots political issues and new social movements create
uncertainty? What uncertainties do urban Aboriginal peoples face? What is
the role of of spirituality in dealing with uncertainty? Any other papers
on the certainty of uncertainty are welcome.


If you are interested in participating in this panel, please contact Craig
Proulx at: cproulx@stu.ca

Reminder - CFP (CASCA 2014): Food and Power (continued from CASCA 2013) - deadline November 15th

At the 2013 meeting in Victoria we had an engaged exchange about the
relationship between food and power (abstract below) in roundtable format.
Now, and in anticipation of the 2014 meeting in Toronto, we hope to
continue this debate with more focused papers (and possibly several panels
on the topic).

We intend to circulate full papers in advance of the Toronto meeting, and
we aspire to have near-final drafts by the time we present at CASCA 2014
to work towards publication as well.

If you are interested in participating, *please send us a 2-page summary
of your project by November 15, 2013.*

Roundtable Abstract: Food and Power (CASCA 2013)

In this session we intend to explore anthropological approaches to the
relationship between food and power. The importance of food in our daily
lives has been recognized widely, yet power relationships have largely
been inferred rather than placed at the heart of our analysis. In
particular, there is a need to develop a better understanding of the
processes, settings and people that exert control through the manipulation
(intentionally or not) of food. Manipulation may occur through withdrawal,
restriction, giving, or simple control over menus (etc.). How do these
choices reflect in the relationships between those who hold control, and
those who are' at their mercy'? More concretely, we may ask diverse
questions such as: What kind of food choices do institutions (prisons,
schools, hospitals etc.) make and what are the power relationships implied
therein? To what extent and how do dietary recommendation or nutrition
guidelines assert power over consumers (and citizens)? What is the power
of the food critics or of the sommelier, or the cook? And what about the
lack of power of the hungry and the power of donor agencies? Our aim is to
advance anthropological research into this relationship recognizing that
food closely intersects with our understandings of self, and our
positioning in a given context.

Organizers: Stephanie Hobbis (steph.hobbis@gmail.com) and Christine
Jourdan (christine.jourdan@concordia.ca)

1. Project Narrative Summer Institute

June 9-20, 2014

The Ohio State University

Feminist and Queer Narrative Theories


The Project Narrative Summer Institute (PNSI) is a two-week workshop on the
Ohio State University Columbus campus that offers faculty and advanced
graduate students in any discipline the opportunity for an intensive study
of core concepts and issues in narrative theory. The focus for summer 2014
will be Queer and Feminist Narrative Theories: Interdisciplinary
Methodologies.
Institute Directors: PNSI 2014 will be co-directed by OSU faculty members
Robyn Warhol, Arts & Humanities Distinguished Professor of English, and
Amy Shuman, Professor of English, Anthropology, and Women's, Gender, and
Sexuality Studies and Director of Disability Studies. The Institute draws
on the co-directors' interdisciplinary training and research experience to
recombine foundational queer and feminist texts in social sciences,
literary theory, and narratology, with the goal of developing new
transdisciplinary methodologies for teaching and research. Scholars in all
humanities and social science fields are welcome.

Application Process and Deadline. Please submit application materials to
Professors Warhol (warhol.1@osu.edu) and Shuman (shuman.1@osu.edu). A
complete application consists of three items: (1) A current c.v. (with
up-to-date contact information); (2) a personal statement of no more than
1,200 words informally proposing your PNSI project and explaining how
participation in PNSI will enhance your scholarship and/or teaching; and
(3) one letter of recommendation. Recommendations can be submitted
directly by your letterwriters to the Institute Directors, or they can
come with your other application materials. Project Narrative will make
admission decisions by April 15, 2014.
The deadline for applications is Monday, March 31, 2014.

Fees and Housing. Tuition for the 2014 Project Narrative Summer Institute is
$1,500. This does not include housing, but the Project Narrative staff will
assist participants in finding affordable housing options according to
individual needs.
Project Narrative cannot provide financial aid, but the co-directors will
gladly write in support of participants' applications for funding from
home institutions.

Structure of PNSI 2014: The co-directors will distribute a list of readings
to be completed before the beginning of the institute. Each participant will
bring a scholarly or pedagogical project to work on during the two weeks
and to share with PNSI seminar members. The project might be, for example,
the outline for an article or conference paper, a proposal for a book or
dissertation, a lesson plan or a course syllabus. The Institute meets each
morning as a seminar to discuss assigned readings and to share work in
progress, giving participants time in the afternoons to pursue their
individual projects. The co-directors will facilitate seminar discussions
and make themselves available to meet once with each participant.

Topics and approaches to be addressed: Seminar readings will survey
theoretical writings from a variety of disciplines on the gendered and
sexed
dimensions of narrative. Topics for discussion include queer theory, French
feminism, and the erotic; temporality, spatiality, and seriality;
ethnography, oral narrative, and conversational storytelling; medicine,
embodiment, and dis/ability; intersectionality and assemblage; the
structure of address in literary and popularmedia texts; tellability and
the unnarratable. Texts for close analysis will include Alison Bechdel's
graphic memoir Fun Home, women's religious conversion narratives and queer
coming-out stories in written and You-Tube formats, and Netflix TV's
Orange is the New Black, as well as selected short literary examples. To
provide a common vocabulary for discussing elements of narrative,
participants will read David Herman et al., Narrative Theory: Core Concepts
and Critical Debates, with particular attention to the sections written by
Professor Warhol on feminist narratology.

For more information about PNSI email either of the co-directors at
warhol.1@osu.edu or shuman.1@osu.edu. Watch the Ohio State University
Project Narrative website for developing details about the reading
assignments and daily schedule for PNSI 2014.
